Yes, I know. This title is provocative. It’s challenging. But let’s have a closer look. For simplicity let’s take the approach and equal famous with becoming a recognized expert. There are two ways to fulfill this request:
- You become an expert by declaration
You know these situations, somebody arrives at your desk and addresses you as the expert for whatsoever. If that happens several times and constantly you can admit that there must be something that others consider you as an expert.
- You become an expert with 10.000 hours of experience.
That’s the well known rule of thumb. After a significant amount of time working in a particular environment it can be assumed, that you have become an expert
